Shakti doesn’t view exercise as a chore. “I think being fit is an indispensable ingredient for holistic well-being. Being in the business of the entertainment, fitness plays a more imperative role because there is a corporal representation to constantly cater to. I’m fit largely because I enjoy being fit, so 90 per cent free will and 10 per cent compulsion,” she told DNA India.
“I always find the time to exercise, I don’t really make excuses,” says Shakti. One of her favorite forms of fitness? “I like to start my day with meditation followed by yoga and then exercise. So I’ll wake up three hours prior to my call time on sets in case I’m shooting and make sure I burn those calories,” she said. She also has tricks for making sure she gets her zen on even while working. “I have a yoga mat in my vanity van,” she added.
Another way she stays fit is via work. She told DNA, “it’s also important to note that dance is a great form of exercise and I’m constantly burning calories because I’m busy dancing all-day long.”
Shakti also hits the gym. “I generally workout every day for a minimum of 30 minutes with a 15 minute warm up and in case I have extra time then 60 minutes,” she told DNA. “My workouts include breathing exercises like Kapal Bhati, ab crunches and strength training. Breathing is crucial in dancing and so, it is an important part of my exercises.”
“I’m pretty disciplined with my diet and I have been maintaining this routine for years now. Since childhood, I have been a very careful eater as I always stayed away from fried food,” she told DNA. Her day starts with a “heavy” breakfast including fruits, cereals, juices, and eggs. Hydration is also a priority. “I sip on a lot of water throughout the day,” she added. Lunch usually comprises of roti or brown rice, salad, tandoor, and curd. “For dinner, I have lots of steamed vegetables and soup. I prefer to stay away from packaged foods and junk during the week and I’m very conscious of the nutritional factor in the food. Indian cuisine is my favorite.”
Shaki reserves time for indulging. “I do cheat on Sundays when I eat whatever I fancy. I’m not a foodie and I don’t believe in experimenting with food but also not completely restricting my cravings. You have one life and you have to live it, in a disciplined manner!” she said.
